First home buyer here and we were given a list of recommended inspectors from our broker. All the inspectors on the list were Texas Association of Real Estate Inspector's (TAREI) and San Antonio Texas Association of Real Estate Inspector's (SATAREI) certified. And she had no allegiances or favorites to recommend, just pick one. We ended up picking Adams Home Inspection because of the name of the company to be honest. Jeff was the first one I called and over the phone I got the impression of someone who wasn't going to try and sell me inspection packages I don't need, and straight up told me to make sure I do my research to pick the right inspector. From that I decided to go with AHI. He asked a few questions about the size of the home and the foundation type, then gave me a quote and we set an appointment. When we got to the location at 9AM, Jeff was already in the garage and doing the inspection process. I could hear the water in the sink flushing and dishwasher going. We walked around the property with him, and he gave us recommendations on things, and how we could even fix them ourselves. Jeff is very personable and easy to talk to. My sig other really liked him and thought he was really funny, so although the information overall was overwhelming (we are not handy fixer up types), the way it came across did not induce any anxiety attacks. I also asked if he knew of any handymen to do some work around our potential new home. We are not from San Antonio, and I still consider us new here, and all my friends have newer homes and this is one that was built in 1959, and will need some renovating or upgrades. He highly recommended a guy, and if he is any good as Jeff, I will be interested in working with him in the future. At the end of the inspection he went over the things in almost stages, like things we can wait on, things that would need attention in the near future, and things that are highly recommended to be fixed ASAP. He also had the inspection report to us later that evening. I would highly recommend Adams Home Inspection to anyone looking for an inspector, and if this house doesn't work out, we will definitely be using him for our next inspection, and recommending to friends.

I can't say enough great things about Jeff. He not only provides a thorough inspection, but also has taken the time to follow up on the progress throughout our building process. He has gotten on the phone multiple times with our builder, myself, and helped us to obtain a structural engineer. He really is in this business because he cares...and it shows. My husband and I won't buy a house without him anymore.

Jeff will give you the truth...are you ready for it?

What a crazy process in purchasing a house! We HAD to get a home inspection (even on our "new" home, which was used as a model to the community) and after waiting almost 2 years for our dream home, we had to have Jeff inspect it! I got to met Jeff and he is personable, professional, and very knowledgeable in his field. Jeff knows that you and your loved ones will be calling that house a home and he takes that serious. Let me tell you...he was everywhere! He inspected every corner in our home, and due to his thoroughness the builder was able to go back and fix almost all the issues that was noted by him! We saved so much money and time in the long run by having Jeff do our home inspection! Jeff gave me tips and ideas to help maintain our property now and in the future. JEFF, THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AWESOME PERSON AND INSPECTOR! We will do business again!

Jeff is very knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. He inspected everything from the foundation to the rooftop. He's on time and always returned my calls in a timely manor. His reports are detailed and he sends them the same day. He also show's you what he's talking about so you can understand what's happening. He wants to help you build the best house possible. You will not be disappointed!

What else can I say? Jeff went above and beyond to answer my questions, make phone calls to housing authorities, and follow up quickly. Save yourself the time, grief, and sleep well at night knowing you received the best inspection hands down. This comes after our new home was inspected twice by another company and had missed several items.

Outstanding Inspector! Honest and very knowledgeable!!!

I hired Jeff Adams to inspect my home back in 2006. Then, he came back to inspect my daughters house in 2012. Now he inspected the new house my wife and I have built. Jeff is honest and will tell it like it is. He will stand there toe to toe with the builder and hold his ground! Jeff is very thorough and does not miss a thing. He takes pride in his work and he reflects that when you're talking to him. I highly recommend Jeff Adams for your home inspections! Mario and Vissia. SATX

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Saved us over $262K!

Jeff Adams is an incredibly thorough, honest inspector! We started building a home, he caught multiple problems that needed to be fixed. When the builder refused to fix them, Jeff gave us guidance and support in making wise decisions. When we chose to walk away, he gave us pointers and tips in choosing a well built pre-owned home.
We feel confident in our home because he was our inspector. We will refer him to ANYONE! He's always been willing and able to fit us in his busy schedule. Absolutely incredible to work with. We are very grateful for his guidance, support and knowledge. We will continue to keep in touch with him as we go about home ownership. He is willing to answer questions at any time.

Home Inspection

He began inspection promptly at designated time ; Very thorough- he walked thru the inspection identifying issues and potential faults w me. He finished around noon and had report ready that night w picture and explanations of issues. This man knows his job which is a blessing sign to this area.
I can't say enough-
If U R buying a house! U need to have a home inspection, don't assume or trust the builder.
Hire Jeff

Home Inspection

The smartest thing U could do is hire Jeff Adams as your home inspector. Needless to say it was the best $$ we have spent. Very professional and a true craftsman at his trade. Only if home builders would follow his mold of what a house should be.
Would highly recommend to have him inspect home as its being built so he can catch these as they happen. We were in the process of buying a SPEC home and we would have had bad collateral if we did not hire him. He enabled us to walk away from a mess. Never buy a home w/o having an inspection done by Jeff Adams. The builder & sales person is not your friend, they are getting your $$ so pay for the inspection to invest n your future.

(re-post from yp.com) Jeff Adams is an amazing inspe...

Jeff Adams is an amazing inspector. He is extremely thorough and spent over 8 hours inspecting our potential home. I received his report the next day and he spent time with me by phone answering any additional questions that I had. He is a wealth of knowledge and I would most definitely use him again or refer him to my friends and family.

Adams’ inspection is awesome... (re-post from yp.com)

Adams’ inspection is awesome. I had Adam’s inspection this winter and I am completely satisfied with the service. He spent hours to inspect the construction and took pictures. The inspection is very thorough and convincing. He explained defects or minor issues on the report, The report is very detailed and professional. So if you are laymen, you do not get just a report, but also much construction knowledge. After the inspection, we talked multiple times through phone and email. He is always there to help! I am completely satisfied with his service. I definitely recommend him and will use his service again once I buy home again.

Very Reliable and Thorough!

Jeff inspected a home during option period for us. He had to come back twice, because the first time the utilities were shut off and he couldn't do a full inspection - typically this would be a big problem, but with Jeff it wasn't. He worked with us to schedule a second round so that he could make sure the inspection could be properly completed. He was thorough along the whole entire process - never missing a beat and really taking his time to deeply go through everything. It was exactly what we needed. His knowledge and insight about code and construction is vast, and his advice to us was very valuable. I highly recommend him if you want a job done right!
